A crempog is a Welsh pancake made with self-raising flour, salt, eggs, milk and salted butter. They are also known as ffroes and normally served piled into a stack and spread with butter. Traditional for a birthday celebration in Wales.
The English word crumpet may be derived from it.[1]

A Welsh verse[2] sung by children refers to crempog:

- Cew chithau de a siwgr brown
- A phwdin lond eich ffedog
- Modryb Elin Enog
- Mae 'ngheg i'n grimp am grempog
- Mae Mam rhy dlawd i brynu blawd
- A Sian yn rhy ddiog i nol y triog
- A 'nhad yn rhu wael i weithio
- Os gwelwch chi'n dda ga i grempog

- And your apron full of pudding
